@oldtimer, Christi is the master mind behind the scenes. She is HR, finance, all things business ops. She hired me a year ago. @doxie-tx
Ned is Executive Chairman of Steemit. He continues to provide vision, direction, and all the support the team needs.
You mean, his ideas about how to rely on speculative investments to run the company? And how to waste money on new hires that will have to be laid off?
executive chairman hm ... i was wondering where the face went ... i wouldn't worry too much about the community as you lot like to call it ... Planet Crypton tends to have very resilient tribes, as long as you and yours can keep it floating i doubt it will go past its expiry date ... i think we are all at the foot of the mountain here, just got passed the swamp and now its a long and winding road ... probably with many avalanches about ...
but i doubt i have to tell you that since you're the MD and i'm Nob Oddy (which is fine by me since i'm allergic to spotlights :p) Best things since sliced bread so far ... but even without the competition ... a sad thing the tribes don't see the point in converging on common ground FIRST against the common enemy (<- too much sun tzu ... too much many things actually) and its overall my blockchain first while the combined opposing forces go against all of it at all ... a central council wouldnt be a bad idea ... but ego is a b*tch ...
Anyway, good luck and thanks !!! @elipowell ... let's not stop at the moon this time, there's catching up to do
yea, central council ... something like "the linux foundation" but more like the world government (preferably elected) of planet Crypton or "the blockchain foundation" or something , in order to defend the rights of Cryptonian tribes ... we are somewhat of an ethnic minority after all ... :p anyway ... before i go at it for another 15 minutes, goodnight to you ma'am :p
miss ... ? i dont speak american very well no matter (<- see ... that's why i need to brake up front because my fingers keep typing ..)
Community foundation is already in the works (and has been for a few months) check the @steemalliance blog for updates.
identity crisis?

Thank you very much for your answer.
Maybe some people are wrong and the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train, after all.
Hello Eli and nice to meet you. As a long time Steem user I've noticed that Steem does a great job at attracting normal internet users from all walks of life, and not just crypto nerds. I worry however, that not nearly enough effort is being put into reaching these people.
So, I do hope a lot more resources are put into advertising in various ways. We have contests like openmic that could be used and promoted and I'd also consider using Steem funds to activate our own userbase to do some work for you! But I'm sure you've already thought about all the possibilities, just wanted to voice that I see it as our most important obstacle as of now; actually getting normal internet users to know about Steem and what it has to offer!
Facebook is losing its face, so is youtube due to bans and copyright issues. Now is the time to go full Steem on and market ourselves until everyone knows Steem!
Awesome. Do you project that as you ramp up with revenue creation and further get costs under control there will be a time when selling steem will no longer be needed?
